Microstory 290: Perspective Sixty-Five

This is an experimental Perspectives microstory. The introduction can be found in Microstory 225. More to follow.

I hear from a lot of people opposed to my values that same-sex marriage is going to make the world better. But we know from a number of different studies that this is not true. I’ve read a lot of different studies that say that children with two parents who are gay do not grow up to be good people. The fact is that gay marriage is harming this country’s children. I won’t even get into the religious problems gay marriage causes because I know that there are other religions out there other than mine, I’m not a crazy person. But these studies I read say that children of two “parents” of the same sex can end up really screwed up. They have worst grades, and sometimes they grow up to be sociopaths and perverts. It’s estimated that about half of children raised by gay couples grow up to be gay themselves. And that is not acceptable. You see, what it really boils down to is a population issue. If everyone was gay, then we wouldn’t be able to have any more people, would we? It doesn’t matter so much to me that marriage is between a man and a woman--which it is, by the way--the real thing is that sex is between a man and a woman. Because the only real purpose of sex is to make babies. Now I’m not saying that I don’t ever have sex for fun, I just mean that I do it with a woman, so it’s okay. I don’t understand why people don’t see that the gay infection is a real concern. If we keep letting gay people get married and raise children, we’ll just end up with more and more gay people, and then there won’t be anyone around to make healthy, god-fearing, straight people. Then we’ll all just die out. But I wonder if that’s what gay people want, to end the world. It’s an insidious plan, and it will probably take a long time, but if that’s really what they want, then we have to do something about it now.

Now you might think I’m crazy, but I’m not. It’s science, and I have the science to back up my claims. I’m not just making stuff up. I haven’t even gotten to the part where a homosexual country would lead to incest and bestiality. It’s not as far-fetched as you think. The people who like gay marriage also think we come from monkeys, so I’m sure they want to have sex with monkeys too. My coworker is gay, and he’s a huge advocate for gay rights. It’s so hard to work with him, and he knows these people where they’re all married to each other! There are, like, seven of them, and they’re all pretty much married to each other. Well, I mean, they’re not actually married, because that’s illegal, thank God, but if the gays have their way, they’ll be married soon too. I don’t think these people have children, but they could at some point, and that we cannot have. Something should be done. We have to protect the sanctity of marriage, and the safety of our children.
